Lost In The Car Park

[xvbn]

We attended a large country show at the weekend and as usual we couldn't find our car in the car park when we came out. I noticed some other cars had long poles attached atop of which was attached a large flag or similar thus identifying the car from way off. What are these things called and where can I get one?

I remember years ago when i just got my new 'Company Car' & couldn't find it in our town carpark which i always used so went looking on side streets etc with a real panic on. After about 45 mins of searching i remembered i had walked to town & left the car at home!!

No good if you're parked on concrete and no doubt some wag would find it hilarious to move it to another part of the car park, or nick it.

my car key fob has a panic button - all noise and flashing lights for easy detection

Could you devise a way to use your tow bar as a flag mount?

Myself, I just use an aerial topper. Mind you, I've always got a pretty good idea where I parked it anyway.

We lost the car in a village in Portugal for a week...all whitewashed houses and side roads looked the same !

You could try googling,

'army surplus tank aerials'



Used to have one of those on my Lambretta, back in the day Baldric.

Better still, unless you really have to, don't go anywhere near a venue which might attract such a huge number of cars and even a more huge number of people. I could think of nothing more ghastly!

It sounds like a whip aerial

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

I can think of plenty of things more ghastly New Judge. Plenty.

or you could sit and wait until everybody else has gone home and the car that's left will be yours, assuming oiks didn't nick it while you were at the show.

who mentioned a whip?
